Nafplion is not your average Greek city. Alongside a knockout waterfront setting, it's got chic boutiques, swish restaurants and the bonus of over 2000 years of history. Spend the morning exploring this lesser-known treasure with a short guided tour and free time. There's also a visit to Palamidi Castle for top-notch views, too.
You'll start the day at Palamidi Castle. Here, you can visit the well-preserved castle, and admire the epic views across the Peloponnese. You'll then head downhill to Nafplion. A maze of narrow streets lined with elegant Venetian houses and typical tavernas, it's one of Greece's most romantic towns. To help you get acquainted, there'll be a short walking tour with a guide.
Then, with free time on your own, you can sit down to lunch in one of the upmarket eateries down by the harbour or tick-off the town's must-see sights. Poke around the ancient walls of Acronauplia – the oldest part of the city – head to one of the many fascinating museums or simply unwind in a typical taverna.
